Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I think they just rediscovered the old "eat healthy and exercise" option.

It’s the zeitgeist of the AI age; outsourcing our intention and tomorrowing our resolve.

Okay, this comment thread has convinced me that almost noone here actually reads anything but the headline. I think I'm gonna resign from Lemmy too... Is there somewhere online where intelligent adults have conversations?

I've heard there is this great drug for morning sickness. It doesn't have any side effects on the mother, it is called thalidomide.

Edit: I also forgot about the other promising weight loss treatment, I believe it is called Fen-Phen. Totally easy to lose weight and heart valves with that one.

I could be wrong, but does it involve…… I dunno….. eating less?

No, consuming less is not allowed. You may only lose weight by consuming more, new products.
